FORD 1999 Windstar - Manual (Page 34)

During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Operating tips
• In humid weather, select
before driving. This will prevent your
windshield from fogging. After a few minutes, select any desired
position.
• To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don’t drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
• Don’t put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
• When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.
• To get maximum heating performance from the second row floor vents
(located under the front row seats), place the front mode selector
control in the
(floor) position and set the fan speed to its highest
setting.
• If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C, but not in any other
mode when the A/C control is selected, this may indicate that the
passenger compartment air filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
